Re: B777 Engine Start
OP, I know exactly what you are saying. The most distinctive sounding airliner I've ever heard.
And the first time I sat in one at start up was "wow" inducing.

Re: Missing airplane on flight from Penticton to Edmonton
I think on the day in question it was more of a low pressure system blowing in moisture from the Pacific, which will tend to generate clouds as it blows up the valleys. More dangerous as you will tend to be under the clouds, which could suddenly close up in the valleys. (I'm not a weather forecaste...

HRC found out that you cannot call 60 million people "deplorables" and expect them to vote for you. Who knew?

What frightens me the most though are the tens of millions of people in the US that elected him. They'll still be there getting progressively more extreme in their views long after Trump is gone, and given the USA's huge economic influence and fearsome military power that's what makes the United St...

It was reported in the Vancouver Sun and CKNW. That was before the identities were known though.

I think it is considered just like an ambulance and charged as such. I saw a poster in an ER waiting room a few years ago stating as much.

Question for RCAF people
My son is in Air Cadets and absolutely loves it. He dreams of a career in the RCAF and I would be interested in any feedback from present or past personnel. Maybe a brief description of your background and path to the Forces, and what you like and dislike. Also maybe what a young person needs to do ...

Re: Won't be long till it's fully entrenched here.
Its usually the individual's parents that fund these sort of things - all for a chance to brag about how their son or daughter flies jets. Does that count as self-funded? This is happening elsewhere too. In Formula 1 there are many pay drivers now. Rich parents are buying drives while top drivers s...

"a bit"?! I guess I must be improving :wink: What I can't figure out is why the government hasn't gotten into the business of licensing and taxing childbirth. They license and tax the crap out of everything else, regardless of any merit of the regulation. One thought: in my experience, over the dec...

Re: Hiring child-bearing age females
FB: I'm sorry you feel that way. ........ I have never regretted and cherish all of my children. That comes off a bit preachy.

Harper, Trudeau, and Mulcair all tweeted thoughts and prayers for Veterans on Remembrance Day.
And for victims of the typhoon in the Philippines.
I see no difference.

Couldn't agree more. "Twitter" is for 12-year-old girls to gossip about boys they have crushes on. Not true. Of all the modern forms of communication, Twitter seems to be one of the most useful.
